User’s Manual
This manual is provided for FCC test guidance, it shall not be used for any other reason but this.
1.1 Scope
This document will detail information required to install and use the GLU-2100 unit.
1.1 Overview
The GLU-2100 is packaged in an ARINC 600 size 3 MCU case to receive and process ILS,
GLS, VOR, MB, and GNSS signals.
The GLU-2100 is a navigation sensor with internal receivers used for enroute, terminal, and
instrument approach and landing operation.
A NAV CCA provides ILS flight path deviation guidance for precision approach and landing as
well as VOR/Marker Beacon functions. The VOR function receives, decodes, and processes
bearing information from the transmitted VOR signal, while the Marker Beacon function provides
visual and aural identification when the aircraft is over a marker beacon transmitter by
illuminating one of three indicator lamps and outputting one of three audible tones (400, 1300,
or 3000 Hz). A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) CCA provides navigation data for
other aircraft systems to support enroute, terminal, precision, and non-precision approach
operations.
The NAV CCA section receives very high frequency (VHF) localizer signals in the frequency
range of 108.00 to 111.95 MHz, and ultra-high frequency (UHF) glideslope signals in the
frequency range of 328.6 to 335.4 MHz. The NAV CCA additionally receives very high
frequency data broadcast (VDB) signals in the frequency range of 108.00 to 117.975 MHz in
GLS mode. The GNSS CCA section receives signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS)
nominal carrier frequency of 1575.42 MHz.
1.2 Input/Output Data Buses
The following Input and Output Data Buses are available on the GLU-2100:
1.2.1 Input: Air Data / FMS Bus (2 Buses)

1.3 Mechanical Description
The GLU-2100 is packaged in an ARINC 600 size 3 MCU case. A low insertion force
size 2 connector on the rear of the unit interfaces with the aircraft wiring. The connector
also holds the rear of the unit to the equipment rack. The GLU-2100 is cooled with
forced-air supplied to inlet holes on the bottom of the unit and exhausted through outlet
holes on the top of the unit.
The GLU-2100 chassis consists of top and bottom plates, front panel, left and right
hinged swingout side covers, and a rear connector mounted in an assembly that protects
against high intensity radiated fields (HIRF). The top insert of the rear connector is for
the GNSS antenna connection, the middle insert is for service connections and VOR/MB
antenna connections, and the bottom insert is for power and LOC/GS antenna
connections.
Access to the interior of the GLU-2100 is gained by removing the left or right side
covers. The side covers are mounted on hinges and held to the chassis with captive
screws. When the captive screws are released, the covers can be swung open.
1.4 Power Supply
The GLU-2100 operates on 115 V ac, 400 Hz single phase power supplied by the
aircraft. The input power is routed from the rear interconnect to the forward power
supply.

3 Installation
The picture below details the GLU-2100 unit mounted in the ARINC 600 3MCU mount. These
type mounts have mechanical mechanisms to allow capture and restraint of the front feet of the
unit. This restraint ensures the unit will not come loose from the mount and also that the ARINC
defined connector does remains in contact with the rear pins.
The harness that connects the RMP to the GLU-2100 is defined by the aircraft manufacturer.
The pinout can be found below.
The equipment setup comes with a complete setup station and wiring going to a standard EMI
bulkhead and from the EMI Bulkhead to the test equipment as shown in the pictures below.

FCC Part 15.19 Warning Statement- (Required for all Part 15 devices)
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT
TO THE
FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL
INTERFERENCE,
AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING
INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.
FCC Part 15.21 Warning Statement-
NOTE: THE GRANTEE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS
NOT
EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE. SUCH
MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
